"After the breakup of Deep Purple in 1976, guitarist Tommy Bolin wasted little time beginning work on his second solo album, Private Eyes. While it was more of a conventional rock album than its predecessor, Teaser (which served primarily as a showcase for his guitar skills and contained several jazz/rock instrumentals), it was not as potent. The performances aren't as inspired as those on Teaser or even those on Bolin's lone album with Deep Purple, Come Taste the Band, although there a few highlights...



“Azel is ... a remarkable example of 21st century popular music. It embraces and intertwines the history of various traditions, from West African folk to blues and rock to reggae -- and expands the reach of them all.”-AllMusic

“Fans of Bombino and Tuareg music in general will notice a few remarkable innovations on this album. The first is the introduction of a new style Bombino is pioneering that he affectionally calls 'Tuareggae' - a sunny blend of Tuareg blues/rock with reggae one-drop and...

"Clear Memory reveals a wonderland of sense-expanding psychedelic potentiality lurking below the surface."-Mutant Sounds

Formed in 1978, Bomis Prendin is a collective of experimental "noisicians" from Washington DC, pioneers within the DIY, Industrial, cassette culture, and experimental electronics scene. Using cassette recorders, mutated musical toys, electric guitars, bass, rewired circuitry, analog pedal effects, and cheap keyboards, they recorded and released in the late '70s a couple of...

Mars Williams - reeds Paal Nilssen-Love - drums Kent Kessler - bass "Boneshaker are three prolific powerhouse musicians, carrying among them a Grammy nomination and decades of experience with the top ensembles in the world. Thinking Out Loud is their third album.

Norwegian phenomenon Paal Nilssen-Love has established himself over the last decade as one of the most important voices in improvised music from his generation. A powerful drummer of unbounded energy, he shows an ongoing ability to...

Boni is best known as an experimental guitarist, but this proves he's a talented composer as well. This is music for string quartet + drums. Not an academic exercise, but a very good record in it's own right. [Stupeur & Trompette!]

In this follow-up to their remarkable debut album Apotropaica, BEV have come up with another excellent record that is sure to delight their fans. Continuing their investigation of the musical turf of Padania and the Appenine region of Emilia, Italy, w...

"The return of Bonifica Emiliana Veneta with a new CD Materiali Tradizionali is an event of some importance, especially considering how long it has been since their last release, Variabile Naturale (2001, fy 8040). Few records but a choice few...

This is the first album by guitarist Marc Bonilla who has played with a lot of different folks since this debut from 20 years ago (1991) and now, most notably with Keith Emerson in Keith's band (Keith appears here), Kevin Gilbert (who appears here) and...

Akira Sakata - sax, clarinet, voice
Jim O'Rourke - double bass
Giovanni Di Domenico - piano, Hohner pianet
Tatsuhisa Yamamoto – drums

“Jim O'Rourke (of Gastr del Sol and Sonic Youth fame) plays a lot with Japanese free jazz legend Akira Sakata in various formations. Together with Italian composer and pianist Giovanni di Domenico and the drummer Tatsuhisa Yamamoto they form this powerful band. Their second release combines contemporary avantgarde and free jazz in a beautiful way.”

At last the great albums by the great Bonzo Dog Band (formerly the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band) get a proper treatment here and this also includes 8 bonus tracks! Originally released 40 years ago in 1967, Gorilla was the band's debut and the only album to...

At last the great albums by the great Bonzo Dog Band get a proper treatment here and this also includes 6 bonus tracks! This was the band's fifth, contractual obligation album. It's not their finest, honestly, but there IS some marvelous stuff here...

This is all five of the band's albums: Gorilla, The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse, Tadpoles, Keynsham and Let's Make Up And Be Friendly.
Essential, quintessentially British music and humor and a great outfit for their time.

Excellent 22 track compilation of the best of this great, quirky, weird, silly English band of the late 60s. These tracks were chosen by Viv Stanshall, and he picked good ones. An excellent primer.

This is the band's 3rd and 4th albums (Tadpoles and Keynsham) in their entirety. When I was about 17-19 I was a HUGE Bonzo Dog fan and just adored all their stuff; I'm not sure you can just jump in appreciate their stuff now almost 40 years later. Both...

“Unissued recordings by this very LOUD power trio from San Francisco, modeled after Cream, Blue Cheer or The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Includes all their fantastic studio demos from 1968 plus raw & wild live tracks from 1969.
Boogie (or The Boogie) was probably the first hard-blues / proto-metal group that emerged from the San Francisco scene. This power-trio was formed by Barry "The Bee" Bastian (Canned Heat, Lee Michaels...) on guitar/vocals; John Barrett (The Rhythm Dukes) on bass and Fuzzy John...

Unusual pop/song-oriented music by two guys that use a lot of instruments simply but creatively (the main instruments of these two is guitar and cello/violin), and a lot of other sounds too. "This weird and wonderful collaboration between guitarist...

The first Bootcut album. This is a side project by (the great) keyboardist of Beardfish, very much influenced by Bo Hansson, especially by Hansson and Carlsson, but also by Bo's solo stuff. Rikard Sjöblom plays keyboards (mostly Hammond B3 organ, but...

"Previously unreleased live show at Pezner in France from 1998. Borbeto in top form."

"... balls on the line improvisation with enough energy to flatten buildings."-Byron Coley

"It was [Byron Coley's "Underground" column in Spin] that I read about Borbetomagus, specifically their cassette-only release Live In Allentown. I don't have the magazine anymore, so I can't quote Coley's prose, but whatever he wrote about this sax-sax...

"It's very difficult to decide which part of this package to enjoy more: Borbetomagus in one of their last recorded incarnations as a quartet with bassist Adam Nodfelman, or the inner sleeve's liner note review by Borbeto fan club pres. and esteeme...

"Killer reissue of the long out of print album. The CD format includes several other sets from the ABC No Rio gig that did not fit on the original LP. High velocity from start to finish, frequently turning on a dime. Essential Borbetomagus."

"First album release in years from the trio of Jim Sauter (saxophones), Don Dietrich (saxophones) and Donald Miller (guitar). For over 2 decades they have raised the mantle on intense improvisational sound parameters into one of the most unique sound....

This was the final performance of the 2009 European tour, celebrating 30 years of Borbetomagus.

“You know that bit at the end of the Monterey concert where Hendrix sets his guitar on fire? That’s what we do. For a whole hour.”-Donald Miller.

"The New York group that embodies the notion of avant-garde music is debatably the true heir to the concept of the free jazz of Albert Ayler and Sonny Sharrock and the minimalism of La Monte Young and Tony Conrad alike. While never falling into either...

Stephan Crump: Acoustic Bass
Kris Davis: Piano
Eric McPherson: Drums
"Borderlands Trio, the collective effort of bassist Stephan Crump, pianist Kris Davis and drummer Eric McPherson, has luck on its side. Less than a year old, its chemistry is unusually deep. And while I don’t often use the term, it’s also a band that boasts a bit of magic.
The album title Asteroida is the Latin term for starfish – a creature that can regenerate parts of itself whenever need be. That idea resonates with.

“On the surface, the album title might be an oxymoron. None of these free-form works resemble traditional ballads, but the young Brooklyn-based duo's ideology and vision is clearly distinct and personalized via these jaunts that to some extent, parallel the British free jazz scene with acidic, creaky and scorching elaborations. There is a consortium of zany nouveau classical music breakouts with bizarre episodic transgressions that tend to hold your attention. At times, the acoustic instrumental...

“Katherina Bornefeld, best known as "Kat", the drummer of Holland's long-running and legendary anarcho-punk experimental noise n' rhythm rockers The Ex. Unbeknownst to most, Kat is a practicing sound healer of note and this album is a sonic meditation of spirit music where the mind and body embrace into sentient peace. A beautiful wholly other experience of...

“The genius chamber/symphonic keyboardist of SAENA and NIRGAL VALLIS, José Luis Fernández Ledesma, and Margherita Botello, a female singer/multi-instrumentalist who has been performing for a long time (also participating in SAENA).
Including Ledesma's guitar, the two perform multi-performance/overdubbing, from minimal + ethnic synth reminiscent of Franco Battiato's 3rd, to ambient/symphony and rhythmic chamber, very attractive content. An imaginary masterpiece with impressive ethnic and magical...

A fine best-of from perhaps THE premier contemporary Irish folk band of the 1970s.
